Cowboys, and a dream girl

Monte Walsh
It is the end of the cowboy era, with the advent of change with locomotives and automobiles. However, the way of Cowboy's does not want to go away, but fight to stay alive. No matter the cause, a team falls apart due to the choices one another makes. With trust on the line, it is a test of survival versus humanity and spirit.
**Bonus goodie - Tom Selleck rides a horse pretty well!
**This western has a pretty good flow of drama and action, definitely worth watching

The Assassination of Jesse James - By Robert Ford
So how did the outlaw die? Or was it just all a lie? Well from the past comes a missing chapter in western history. When outlaws were going the way of cowboys due to the changes going on within our world. Tyranny runs rampant as those who want to lay claim versus the law. Going by many names, Jesse binds his trust or hate with a band of outsiders finding a way to take things into their hands. The only catch is, there is a lie within the group that could make it all fall apart.
**the casting in this film is insane! It is very well put together! It starts off slow, but builds up like an old fashion western.
**There is a constant search for truth from both sides, either outlaw or with the Ford Brothers. It becomes a quest of brotherhood versus all else. Kinda makes you question history even more.

What would you do if you could bring the girl or guy of your dreams to life? Think of it. Okay, now what if turned into a complete nightmare, and you boldly tried to survive every day. So the life of a writer has its ups and downs, success and failure. The biggest win is the chance to be a best seller, the worst part: writer's block. But the biggest fallout this one writer faces is when he can only conceive ideas when he falls asleep. And then one day, a character he conceives comes to life! Will it drive him to create or make him fall apart?
**This film is pretty clever, but a real head turner. It does push several "fourth wall" story writing barriers. It is both a comedy and drama. Definitely a must see.
